activities, which include emergency exit training from the orbiter, opportunities to inspect
their mission payloads in the orbiters payload bay and simulated countdown exercises. The
launch of Atlantis on mission STS-104 is scheduled July 12 from Launch Pad 39B. The mission
is the 10th flight to the International Space Station and also carries the Joint Airlock
